Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots, Antoine Jobard 2007
Jobard’s 2007 Meursault Poruzots emphasizes nutty piquancy and crushed stone from nose to tail. Allowing for its having been racked not long before I tasted it, this shows considerable glycerin-richness, along with satisfying stratification of high-toned citrus oil, pit fruit distillate, and herbal essences; nuts and grains; bright fresh citrus; and deep chalky, stony pavement. Grapefruit zest, peach fuzz, and toasted hickory lend a sense of invigoration to a layered, gripping finish. This is another wine that will strike some tasters as austere and off-putting, and there is no question it is more formidable than winsome right now, but that reflects in part the site itself. It should be worth following for at least the better part of a decade. Burghound: Outstanding! |
